Blood and Honor

De: W.E.B. Griffin

Narrado por: Michael Russotto

As did his three immensely popular series Brotherhood of War, The Corps and Badge of Honor, W.E.B. Griffin's novel of World War II espionage Honor Bound became an immediate bestseller: "A superior war story" (Library Journal) "whose twists and turns keep readers guessing until the last page" (Publishers Weekly). Now the characters of Honor Bound are back, in an adventure as exciting as anything Griffin has written. It is April 1943, and Marine aviator Cletus Frade, Army demolition's wizard Anthony Pelosi, and communications expert David Ettinger are thrust again into the lethal nest of intrigue that is wartime Buenos Aires. A clandestine German vessel sets sail to resupply submarines in the South Atlantic...as a massive shipment of money earmarked for postwar Reich makes its way to South America...and a coup designed to topple the government reaches critical mass. In the midst of it all, the German-ordered assassination of Cletus Frade's father demands only one response: revenge. Threading their way carefully between Axis and Allied sympathizers, and even between rival OSS and FBI factions, the three solidiers must strive their utmost not only to fulfill their missions--but just to stay alive. And for that, even their utmost may not be enough... Written with all the energy and expertise that Griffin's readers have come to expect, filled with drama and authentic heroes, Blood and Honor is a captivating novel sure to please fans old and new.

Michael Russotto was beyond awful

What did you love best about Blood and Honor?

W. E. B. Griffin's Honor Bound series is a great series and of course if you want to listen to the entire series you need to listen to Blood and Honor even though Audible hasn't made Secret Honor (book 3 of the series) available yet. It is available as a digital download though so if audible doesn't add it I have to get it else where.

How could the performance have been better?

My only complaint about this book was the narrator Michael Russotto was terrible. The voices he used for so many of the characters in this book made them sound like little girls. I know that not all narrators are as good as Scott Brick but in this case Humpty Dumpty would have undoubtedly been a much better choice as narrator. It's amazing how thoroughly a poor narrator can decrease the enjoyment I normally get listening to a good book. The problem is that Michael Russotto wasn't good enough to have been merely poor.

good story

the book is a good on. I find it very interesting and funny that , in the audio, is the choice to immasculate the nazi voices to sound feminine. it took me a bit to get beyond the high voices thinking how annoying it was and how bad the narrator was with voices. but the only high voces , other than women are the nazi's. then, I loved it.

Need a better narrator

It’s a great story, I love the whole series. I would rather read the hard copy than listen to this Russotto guy, he sounds like a robot.

Really wanted to skip this book in the series.

Narrator is a dweeb that's way too hard to listen to. Way2 ruin a book!

Can you have a worse narrrator?!

I cannot believe you would go from Dick Hill to this person. Good GOD, he is awful. Who was the director? How could you actually listen to that and say oh Yeah, that's going to do great. Where did he go to school, Audio Directors for the Deaf?!

Seriously, this needs to be re-recorded by a new narrator. Completely ruins even trying to listen to this book.

Scott Brick does a great job with the rest of the series, but this dude. WOOF!

Griffin has used this person before with the same exact result. Take a great book and make an awful audiobook completely killed by the narrator.

Anyone who doesn't think voice acting is acting is completely wrong!
